Hi Cyrus, two questions come to mind:
1) Can Imagine do 3D glows, or do they have to be 2D tricks like you have
   used here? Can a glow be applied to an irregular 3D shape independant
   of camera view location?
2) I find it very disturbing that the glow fades to black and does not blend
   in with the grey background. Is it not possible to make a glow fade off
   transparently? I had thought that the black disk behind it was the culprit,
   but it appears that is not the case with this image.
